A barber shop tucked inside Whitianga Hair Co. at 23D Albert Street in Whitianga, offering classic men's cuts, zero and skin fades, beard shaping and kids' cuts. The menu includes burst fades, mullets, crops and head or face shaves. A haircut and beard tidy is offered as a combined option called the Coastal Clean Up. The barber holds a New Zealand Certificate in Commercial Barbering at Level 4.
Walk-ins are welcome as well as bookings, and there is a board where people put their name down for a time slot. Customers say a skin fade comes out as asked, and they praise the parking outside, the lighting, the cleanliness and the staff, who are easy to talk to. Cancellations are appreciated with as much notice as possible, and a deposit may be asked after no-shows. Open Locally lists one other barber within a kilometre, Bay Barbers, 0.1 km away, which has no rating. Our pick in Whitianga for a clean fade with a chat.
